Aside from the Seven-Leaf Iceheart Grass, all the other preparations had been made exceptionally thoroughly, with more than one set of supplies ready.
Otherwise, Devil Lord Huangye would not have attempted this so readily.
The assembled Alchemy Saints had deduced the entire pill formula countless times, and the initial stages of the refinement went relatively smoothly. Drawing the poison from Consort Qingli would be no easy task; it could not be accomplished in a short time.
On the surface, Devil Lord Huangye had asked Lu Xiaotian and the others to use the pill's aura to stabilize the poison within Consort Qingli, then gradually drive it out with the pill's power.
Even if the refinement went smoothly and the pill was successfully produced, the whole process would still be extremely perilous. But if everything were properly controlled, and Consort Qingli had enough good fortune, there would indeed be a chance of success.
It was just that Devil Lord Huangye clearly wanted to do everything possible to maximize the chances of Consort Qingli waking. If he had merely spread the danger among them, Lu Xiaotian would not have thought much of it.
But the other man intended to use the Nine-Turn Heart-Connecting Pill Formation to make their divine senses, as they controlled the pill aura, partially assimilate with it.
Then, together with the pill aura, they would transform the poison inside Consort Qingli.
That would minimize the danger to Consort Qingli, but it also meant using their lives in exchange for her awakening.
Lu Xiaotian, Xuelin Alchemy Saint, and the others naturally had no intention of seeking their own deaths. Completing this final step required at least a fifth-rank Alchemy Saint, as well as an exceptionally thorough understanding of Consort Qingli's poison. Thus, Devil Lord Huangye himself would have to take action.
